Old Tucson offers old-fashioned Western fun |
Just 15 minutes west of downtown and about 20 minutes from the Tucson International Airport is a rootin’, tootin’ vintage Western town theme park called Old Tucson. Celebrating its 70th birthday in 2009, the authentic-looking 1800s frontier town was built originally as a very detailed movie set for the movie, “Arizona”, starring Bill Holden and Jean Arthur.
Ticket prices for an all-day visit are $17 for adults and $11 for kids age four to 11. Smaller kids get free entry. There are several eateries throughout the big main street, including a Western music hall review that serves lunch and dinner western style. |
